Hi Everyone! I love plants very much and it is very difficult to grow them in a flat because of the weather conditions Violets, for example, do not grow well here because of the darkness. So, I have plants that go well in small places and where there is a bit of sunlight. In the summer, the sun is terrible here and dries the soil of the vases. I got a beautiful flower vase on the mother's day that has a plastic container, but I do know its name and it is in bloom again! This means that she likes the place where I put is and my watering as well. I also love succulents, but many times the strong wind caused the vases fell down on the floor and the plants broke and became weak. The space is so small that I bump into them and they fell down on the floor as well. I also have a "Dracaena Frangans". When I brought it it was short, but now it is almost two-meter long.
I love basil and I intend to have a vase of it. I like to put basil leaves on the tomato sauce and pizza. Pizza with basil it is called "Marguerita Pizza". I want to have seasoning plants. There is a corner here that has sunlight, but in the summer the plants simply dry.

My rosemary was drought. I got the other plant from a neighbor more than 25 years ago. I do not know the name either, but it has beautiful purple flowers.

I have been knitting lately. This is a present to my daughter and this is the first woolen hat that I made. It was hard to find an easy pattern. I think it is a bit long than I wanted. I will put the pattern soon because I have some doubts. I also would like to make a bigger flowerror but I do not know how to make it yet.

We are in Winter and it is chilly and rainy, but today is a beautiful day.

This is the first fabric doll that I made. I made it for a gift, but I sold it instead. I started it on July 26 in 2014 and ended on August 10, 2014. The reason I decided to make a doll is because I love Tildas very much. I saw a Tilda once but I regret I had not bought it. It had an amazing embroidered apron, a beautiful dress and hat. I have never seen another one so beautiful like that. Maybe I am going to try making another teeny tiny doll with a embroidered apron. I have to be inspired! The most difficult things to make were really the dress and her hair. I used everything I had at home. I hope you like Christiene.

I made this blog to practice writing because I am studying for an examination. The thing is that I have made new friends here and have learned so much reading the posts. This is a great time!
